Welcome to Mr. Does' Biology Wiki "Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't." -Bill Nye
Welcome to the wiki page for Mr. Does' 10th grade biology class. I am very excited to work with you over the coming semester as we learn about life through the study of biology. This site will serve as a record of our class throughout the year. I will be posting assignments, links, discussions, notes, and other things of interest on this wiki page. Make sure you check back often as things will be changing daily. Also, feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. The only stupid question is the one which is left unasked.
For those of you unfamiliar with wikis, here is a brief overview: What is a Wiki? (From TeachersFirst)
"A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant: you can create or edit the actual site contents without any special technical knowledge or tools. All you need is a computer with an Internet connection. A wiki is continuously “under revision.” It is a living collaboration whose purpose is the sharing of the creative process and product by many. One famous example is Wiki-pedia, an online encyclopedia with no “authors” but millions of contributors and editors. The word "wiki" comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or "fast.""
Wiki Guidelines
This wiki will serve as a means of communications between the members of our class throughout the semester.. In order to make sure our interactions are pleasant and academic, we have to review some guidelines which will need to be followed as you participate in this community forum. Remember, this wiki is an extension of our classroom space and should be treated as such.
Rules:
1. Be respectful of everyone at all times.
2. Obscene or vulgar language will not be tolerated.
3. Do not try to provoke classmates (i.e. internet trolling).
4. Only constructive criticism should be used to critique the work of others.
5. Contribute original ideas, don't just cut and paste from copyrighted materials without citing the original source. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.
6. Remember, anything you post on the internet is available for all eyes to see, so only post information that you want to be public knowledge.
7. Do not include any personally-identifying information in your posts.
8. Keep posts on-topic.
Breaking any of the above rules could lead to any of the following consequences depending on severity and repetition:
Consequences:
1. Warning
2. Deletion of some or all of the offending post
3. Temporary loss of wiki privileges
4. Permanent loss of wiki privileges
5. Referral to school administration
